Ran at lunch today for a sunshine workout.  Felt pretty good.  I have to get my milage increased of the Ragnar relay in June.  I have the Canyon Fun run this saturday, but I don't think I will taper much since Tom is not going gun ho for it. 

I am having a harder time getting back into the groove after the vacation, and cold.

Hectic day.  30 min of lifting.  No cardio.

Got to have a training with one of the biggest names in the US in PE.  He was a big advocate of kids being active.

Swam a timed 800 in 15:55.  It had been quite a while since I was in the pool.  I was just getting back into form and then another lay off.

Did another 800 of pull boay, fist gloves, and 4x 100 intervals.

I intended to do a tempo run on the Canyon fun run course.  After running around the Jr. high and running there, I discovered that I did not have the legs for tempo.  So I just slogged through it and ran home.

I am not sure if I was hydrated enough.  I think I have not been doing a good job recently.

For the fourth straight year, I ran the Canyon fun run.  All three of my daughters ran the mile race but I run the 5k.  The field had the horses in it--but it could have been a lot more competative.  Tom paced Kim to a PR!!  Good job Kim.  Darren was the race director so he did not run and Scott paced a child so he did not go all out. Pat was not quite as fast as he usually is.   Steve won and Carl took second. I was running with Spencer, Carl's 15 year old boy.  The race started off like usual.  Steve likes to play with his mice before he eats them.  At the half way point he left Carl.  I was no worse then third and fourth the whole race.  At the 2.5 mile mark, Spencer picked up the pace a bit and I did not want to chase him.  It was not worth it.  (That does not happen too often with me, but this was a C race and I did not want to get hurt or cramp.)

My daughters did not run that well.  If you do not train at all . . . .   But I am glad they ran.
